Arkansas Department of Health in Fort Smith tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis C, treating bacterial STIs the same visit when results call for it. Appointments are required; fees run on a sliding scale with Medicaid and insurance accepted.
Without active partner notification, a treated infection can return from an untreated contact: costing time, repeat visits, and renewed health risk. Arkansas Department of Health in Fort Smith handles that outreach directly, so the chain of exposure gets addressed alongside the individual diagnosis.
Leaving hepatitis C out of a screening means a separate visit, a separate referral, and a window where an active infection goes unmanaged. Arkansas Department of Health in Fort Smith tests for hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so the panel is complete in one appointment.
A missed instruction or misunderstood result at an STI clinic can mean a treatment taken incorrectly or a follow-up that never happens. Arkansas Department of Health in Fort Smith has interpretation services available for non-English languages, so the details of testing, results, and next steps land accurately regardless of the language you use.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Sebastian County, the county that includes Greenwood, compare with Arkansas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#38 of 75 Arkansas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 49% of the state
| Infection | Sebastian County | Arkansas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 452.4 584 cases ▼ 22% | 579.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 127.8 165 cases ▼ 34% | 193.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 44.9 58 cases ▲ 54% | 29.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 20.1 26 cases ▲ 16% | 17.3 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 31 40 cases ▼ 35% | 48 | 29.5 |

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Sebastian County, chlamydia has fallen from 478.9 to 452.4 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 265.3 to 127.8 per 100,000 (52%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 14.9 to 44.9 per 100,000 (201%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Sebastian County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Arkansas is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Sebastian County HIV care continuum (2023)
Sebastian County recorded 10.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Sebastian County residents living with HIV, 39.1% are in care · 29.9% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Sebastian County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Greenwood residents moving through errands on Center Street or spending weekend afternoons at Ossie Louise Park tend to know their neighbors well, the kind of place where families stay put and households often span generations under one roof. That closeness brings real value, but it can also make health decisions feel more exposed. STI testing here needs to happen without the weight of wondering who might notice a visit or what questions could follow. Clinics and testing providers in and around Greenwood listed on this page understand that confidentiality isn't negotiable in a town where people recognize faces. Your test results, your medical history, and your reason for being there remain entirely separate from daily life.
Protected by law and by the respect these providers extend to anyone seeking clarity about their sexual health. Young adults moving through their twenties and thirties make up a meaningful part of Greenwood's population, and many are at the life stage where routine screening fits naturally into good health habits. Whether you're between partners, in a new relationship, or simply getting regular checkups, testing is available without judgment or assumptions. The straightforward path forward starts with a call or a visit to one of the providers serving your area.
Getting there
At 5.59/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Greenwood generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Arkansas law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
In Arkansas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Arkansas permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
